To ll'whom 'it may concern:

l Be.- it known t-hat I, ARTHUR XV. MONT-V GOMER'L a citizen of the United States, re-

siding at Helena, in the county' of Lewis and-@lark and State of Montana, have invented., new and uset'ul. Improvements `in lVindow-Shade Brackets, of which the tol- `shade bracket. 'felevation'of the same. Fig.'3 is a perspecl'owing is. a specification. The invent-lon'relates to-an improvement inwindow-shade' brackets, being particu-' -larly directed to a single integrall structure adapted to ,provide for the proper support .of the window-shade roller and 4for the curtain pole.

tion-is ,the .provision of a .shade bracket constructed. of a single strip of material for'med for convenient connect-ion. to the The invention will be described in the fol; `'lowing specification, reference being i had particularly to the accompanying drawings, in whichz.-

Figure 1 is a view in elevation illustrating the application of my. improved window'- Fig. 2 is 'an enlargedside 'tive view of the bracket. Fig. et a perspective of the curtain.l pole with which the bracket' coperates. 'Fig section of thevpole.

Referring particularly to .the my improved window-'shade bracket .com-

prises a metallic member` 1 of 'substantial and uniform thickness throughout, the upper edge'2 of the 'member being-arranged for the greater portion 'of its length at .right angles'to the rear. edge 8. The lower edge 'of the4 member is 'of somewhat irregular' Outline so arranged as to gradually increase the depth of 'the member toward the rear edge 3said lower edge being sharply offset.-v in advance ofthe'rear edge 3 to'r'naterially increase the depth'of the bracket member atp-the rearV portion, as at 4:' The' forward edge of the inember'terminates .in a vert-ically extending 'post 5, the 'upper edge of which extends some distance above the upper. edge 2 of. the member, the postbeing so conp structed that it isvapproxim'ately squared-in. cross sect-ion.. .The edge portion.2 of the member terminates` rearwardly; beyond the 5 "is" "a transverse drawings,

post 5, and from said termination'tofhe' post the upperedge ofthe-'member is in 'the form of a. straight edge '6, which'inc "es downwardly from the edge 2 to 'the fpost',t

juncture of the inclined edgeandvthe PATENT s Patented'hia'y Side '0f the Post4 fol'ming'- a' V.-shaped recess."

v 9 to' receive a squared pint'le '10 of the. The m`a1n.- object of the 'present invenshade-roller, said recess 9, opening through vthe upper edgev2`of the member, providing 4for the application .and withdrawal of the `shaderoller after the brackets are secured in place. It ist() be understood that aside from 'the difference noted in the opening '7 and recess` 9 the bracket members are Off identical form. The relatively lrear` edge '3' lof the shade bra'eket is,adjacen t the upper .7'to receive' the rounded pintle of terminal of said edge formed. with a rear'.

wardly 'extending screw member 11 designed.

to beinserte'd in the window casing 12. De- 'pendingV from' and in' alinement with the rear. edge '3f of the bracket vis an integral ear 13,l formed with a hole -let in its lower portion for `the reception of a screw 15,.

whereby to additionally secure thebracket in y.place and also provide against its accif' dental turning-upon the screw 11.1"

The4 curtain pole with 'which the bracket is designed. to cooperate is preferably'of the ordinary extensible type, as at 16,' comprising hollow telescopic4 sections, each ofwhich sections is formed. near one en d with an Opening 17 to snugly' receive the post 5 of the respective brackets, the lower innerl edge of the opening resting on theinclined 'plane or edge so thatv the weight of the pole tends to fonce it into binding .engagement with 'the vwall ofthev -V-shaped recess.' With the brackets applied' as described it is obvious thatthe. curtain pole and'als'o fthe shade' vpole may be 'readily secured-.in positionl for allofthe ordinary uses, the'useof 'thea-df' ditional screw' 15 serving to Vli'x'the'loracke'xts in place against possibility of accldental movement 'and thereby `insuring an accurate,Y

tity of the window-shade -roller and curtain vole. p It" is to be particularly'noted lthat the improvement is a single integral bracket` 110 .for the reception of a Spring shade roller= a depending ear formed integrally in alinement with the rear edge of said member, an

angular post projecting vertically from a point below'the normal plane of the uppen edge of said member, an inclined. plane, in angular 'relation to the normal plane of the upper edge of said' members forming 'a V- shaped recess With'juncture of said inclined plane and the inner side of the post, and :L curtain pole provided with a rectangularopening adapted to receive seid post, the

lower inner edge of said opening resting Y upon said-inclined plane, the'weight of said" pole tending to force said lower inner edge of said opening into bind-ing engagement with the Walls. of said `\v shped recess.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
